Title: Cemetery Lookup-Royal Oak Burial Park-Victoria
Post by: failsafe on Sunday 01 February 15 13:29 GMT (UK)
H all

Looking for help in locating the grave of Franks Whittaker (d. 1976), Gladys May (d. 1991) and
Nellie Whittaker (n.d.) all are in the same grave. They are buried at the Royal Oak Burial Park, Victoria, B.C., Canada

I'm sorry I do not have grave plot or number.

But if anyone can locate them providing exact hate and if possible a photograph of the grave I would appreciate it

Thanks

Hi failsafe,

There is a person who will do lookups and is willing to take photos, not sure if this
is still valid, but worth an email.

Is that the Nellie Whittaker who travelled with Thomas Henry Whittaker and Mary Ellen arriving Portland Maine in 1912 on SS Canada ?

Lived at 41 Cobden Street Moston Lane Blackley Manchester ?

Lived in Montreal Quebec on the 1921 census ? Did Nellie never marry ?

Thanks for the address Sandra, (is the 3008 the address number?) I also heard that besides being a clerk, she was also a stenographer
